Your Impact

Every Purchase Makes a Difference

There’s more to this store than thrifting. All profits generated by our thrift store go directly towards supporting Adeara Recovery Centre, an accredited addiction recovery centre for women in Edmonton. When you shop at More Than a Fad, you help Adeara:

• Provide safe shelter for women in long-term addiction recovery. Those who have come from a background of houselessness, incarceration, or a general absence of security can rely on a secure home for themselves and their young children at Adeara.
• Guide women through a recovery program that offers rounded healing from addiction: biologically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually.
• Rebuild families through helping women regain custody of their children and allowing children to live in the centre with their mothers.

Women Served This Year at Adeara

In the fiscal year of 2024-2025, Adeara served 16 women through our addiction program, housed 12 children, supported 26 women through continued care, served 16 workers through our work experience program, and engaged 147 volunteers. Our community of supporters has been pivotal in the transformation our clients and their children have experienced this past year.

Your support doesn’t just change the women’s lives; it changes the trajectory of entire generations.

The impact we make is all thanks to people like you. If giving back to your community is something that’s important to you, we’d love to have you join our volunteer team! Learn more about what it means to give back with More Than a Fad today.
